Inside it’s big, filled with like, quality furniture, Indian art, Buddha heads, modern Indian pop on the sound system, and big screen TVs showing sports. Except the sport that you see most is, uh, cricket.

“India’s not all tradition. It’s moving ahead at explosive speed. We’re aiming to be a sports bar, modern Indian-style.”

Wow. I see they have $9.99 lunch buffet, but that’s closed down by now. And so is happy hour (3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., daily), which looks really good. Like beers are all $2. And that includes Stone IPA, Sam Adams, Ballast Point Pale Ale, and Kingfisher, India’s #1 lager.

Good food deals too: somosas (the fried pastry stuffed with potato and peas) are $2, tandoori chicken’s $5, and chicken tikka, in the sizzling platter, is $6.

These have to be the best Indian food prices downtown. Gotta try these things.

But I’ll wait for happy hour. Or maybe the lunch buffet. Or maybe both.

Meantime I get me two somosas ($3.99), and a plate of paneer pakora – Indian-style cheese chunks with green chutney stuffed between, battered and fried. They come with a kinda poppadam, a crisp rolled Indian bread, and a sweet sauce, and more of that tangy, savory green chutney.
